Testimonials

Here is a small selection of testimonials that we have received over the years. We have more on request.

'Writing a book is a very personal thing. You put so much of yourself into it and most books reflect something of the person who wrote it. So when you come to the point of getting it published you want to be able to believe that you will end up with something polished and beautiful, something that will attract the best kind of attention. It is that experience that has pleased me so much. Everyone I dealt with was determined to come up with the best possible product. I owe them all a big ‘Thank you!’'

Elizabeth Legge, author of

Imperial Cauldron: Gathering Shadows

'Everything started to move forward as it needed to do in order to meet deadlines. For the second time, my book cover was worked on by Jag Lall. I truly believe there is nobody better for a job like this. Ian Large did my copy-editing and was a joy to work with again. I am indebted to both of them and hope to encounter them again.'

Richard Caborn and David Moseley, authors of London 2012: From Concept to Legacy

'I didn’t know anything about how a self-publisher can make huge steps in writing, but the service and help I got from Ian Large and Jag Lall inspired me to start writing my second book. They were so helpful to me with everything that I needed to do, with the changes they proposed to make and with a correction of everything.'

Leonard Nika, author of World Events 2000-2020

'Everything is explained and all possible questions are answered. Ian Large checks every word of text and corrects any errors and is always there to make updates and amendments. Jag Lall uses his creativity to design the front and back covers. In my book there were photographs inside and on the cover — Ian Large and Jag Lall used their skills to lay out the book. It could not have turned out any better. Complete satisfaction.'

Neil Beacom, author of

50 Greatest Goalscorers in the History of British Football

'Thanks to Ian Large and Jag Lall for the copy editing and cover design. A great team, very good communication. Many thanks!'

Linda Pullman, author of Roses in December

'Once I had decided to write a book on my restoration of a vintage car, the “Riley project”, I investigated the route I had to take to get the book published. Having heard the horror stories of rejection after rejection by established publishing houses I began to look at self-publishing, aware also of the pitfalls in following that route. Jag Lall and Ian Large take care of any design and production requirements, copy editing, proofreading, printing, distribution, marketing. In fact the whole package from the time you finish writing to the day it appears in bookshops or via Amazon and hundreds of book retailers, or electronically through Kindle.'

Roger Fountain, author of Phoenix

'Jag Lall, would design the book cover. The finished product is something that clearly reflects the content of the book and in my view something of a ‘work of art’.

Ian Large worked with me to formulate the layout, correct the grammar, spelling and improve the overall reading experience of the book. Something that I couldn’t have achieved without his help, experience, guidance and patience.'

Andrew Cole, author of Memories of a Synchronistic Gap Year

'The whole process of getting to this point has been a pleasure: working on the cover with Jag Lall was an exercise in creative cooperation that I really enjoyed; spending time with the ever-patient Ian Large, the copy editor, was unpressured and affirming. I appreciated their responsiveness and support enormously.'

Peggy Jones, author of Benches

'The copy editor Ian Large and cover editor Jag Lall offered reassurance, emailing me at regular intervals about the progress with my work. At all times I was assured that it was my book and that they would abide by my decisions, yet were willing to discuss pros and cons if I was unsure about certain aspects.'

Anne P. Stewart, author of Rosemary for Remembrance

'Ian Large my copy editor and Jag Lall my book cover designer were professional and efficient.'

John D. Speake, author of A History of the Speake Families in Shropshire

'The copy editor Ian Large and the book cover editor Jag Lall have been brilliant, nothing is too much trouble for them. Being from Yorkshire I like to get value for money, you certainly get that from these guys.'

Dave Adamson, author of Taking the Tide Where it Serves
